Makjang Drama Recommendations
I have been watching Korean dramas since 2019, and have always preferred your standard 16 episode dramas with just a single (Hospital Playlist being the exception), 12 episodes were even better!
But recently I have began to venture into long running family/ makjang dramas and have come to the conclusion that I really enjoy them! I find them to be more meaning full and have the slow burn romance element that I enjoy very much.
Listed below are some of the family dramas that I have enjoyed so far and would like to recommend in case you enjoy such a genre as well :)
PS* Definitely not the end of this list, will edit as I watch and complete more dramas. Also open to recommendations :)

1. Os Irmãos de Ojakgyo

2. O Agora é Lindo
Korean Drama - 2022, 50 episodes

3. Rei da Panificação, Kim Tak Goo
Korean Drama - 2010, 30 episodes
Although not your average 50 episode drama, still considered a makjang drama. And its a good one, definitely recommend it.

4. Lindo Amor, Vida Maravilhosa
Korean Drama - 2019, 100 episodes
Not a bad one, really enjoyed Seol In Ah's performance here. I would probably recommend this one is someone asked me for a good family drama.

5. Seja Forte, Geum Soon
Korean Drama - 2005, 163 episodes
This one was my first makjang drama, and while the story is something we have all seen too many times, I still thought it was done pretty well and really liked it. But might not recommend this one off the top of my head.
